APNewsBreak: Arrest made in police station bomb case

DENVER (AP) — Authorities have arrested a man in connection with
a homemade explosive left outside a police station in a small
northern Colorado mountain town.

A man was taken into custody over the weekend in connection with
the Oct. 11 incident in Nederland, two law enforcement officials
with knowledge of the investigation told The Associated Press.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were
not authorized to speak publicly about the case.

A detective found the device in a backpack and brought it into
the police station, believing it was lost property. Robots
searched the device and it was eventually detonated in the
parking lot of the town's main retail complex, a strip mall that
houses the five-officer police department.

Investigators say it was an active explosive that failed to
detonate.

It was not immediately clear what charges the man would face.
U.S. attorney spokesman Jeff Dorschner declined to comment.

The case rattled this mountain-ringed town of 1,500 people
southwest of Boulder best known for its love of legal marijuana
and its annual celebration of a frozen corpse that draws tens of
thousands of revelers.
